Chapter 30

"Greg..."

"Yes, baby?"  Napangiti naman ako sa sinabi niya at mas isiniksik pa ang ulo ko sa dibdib niya. Nasa kama na kasi kaming dalawa at papatulog na. We are hugging each other as we'll both get into a deep slumber. Ganun kasi kaming dalawang natutulog. We hug or cuddle each other.

"Why me?"  I asked him.

"Hmm?"

"Bakit ako? I'm not perfect... Binibigyan pa kita ng sakit sa ulo minsan... I'm stubborn... Annoying... But why me?"

Natawa naman ito sa sinabi ko at hinalikan ako sa noo, "I don't care about your flaws, Evangeline. Everything about you is already perfect to me. Every inch of you will always be worth to me no matter what that is."

I smiled at what he answered. Mas lalo tuloy akong nahuhulog sa kanya.

"Greg?"

"Yeah?"

"What if someday... What if  someday I'll hurt you? Paano kung masasaktan ka dahil sa akin?"

Natahimik naman ang paligid namin matapos ang tanong ko.

Then suddenly, I felt him kissing my hair, "If ever that will happen... every pain that you'll cause me will be worth it. Every pain coming from you will be worth it, Evangeline. As long as you'll be happy, I will gladly endure the pain." He answered softly. I admit that I feel giddy with his answers. He is really unpredictable.

I just hugged him more tightly.

"I love you, Greg."

"I love you too, so much."

This day is going to be hardest day for me.

"Dito lang, Manong." sabi ko sa taxi driver at kaagad naman siyang huminto. Nagbayad kaagad ako ng pamasahe pagkatapos ay bumaba na.

I smiled as I watched the huge soccer field at my front.

I will finally decide now.

Pumasok na ako sa loob. May nakikita naman akong mga teenagers na naglalaro ng soccer sa gitna. It was just an ordinary afternoon.

I then sat on the grass and took off my shoes.

Things have been complicated since I came here. Maraming nangyari na hindi ko inaasahan. Mga bagay na kailangan ng paliwanag upang maging malinaw ang lahat. Mga bagay na dapat mong malaman para tuluyan ka ng maging malaya.

A lot of it made me realize some things.

Love is a sacrifice.

In order for you to finally close the chapter about your past, you have to let go.

If you love, you have to let go.

If you love, you have to sacrifice.

What's in the past will be in the past. If you let it meddle with your present, you'll never move on. Parang matatrap ka lang sa nakaraan mo hanggang tuluyan nitong masisira ang sarili mo at ang relasyon mo sa ibang tao.

Forgive and forget.

Kahit ganun ang nangyari sa amin, nagpapasalamat pa rin ako.

Kasi naging malakas at matatag ako ngayon.
